Tom Shaw needs some prayers.

[Noidly1]

I only know a little bit, but apparently Tom (Gonecrazy) went down pretty hard at Barber today. Karen put up on facebook that he went down, and so far she thinks he has a broken femur, pelvis and possibly internal bleeding.  Not sure of which hospital he is at right now.  I'll post more as I find out.  For now, I trust everyone will remember him in their prayers.  If anyone has more info, or corrections to this- please post up.

Hang in there Tom. We're praying for you.
